Thanks Zem, I just added one more photo. A view
from the street of the
front bed showing the path to the backyard mentioned
in a previous roof
photo. I couldn't get this area from the roof
because of the 2 dogwoods.
the straight lines with landscape timbers are the
places I planted the
border of Lancaster Geraniums and the curved area
under the right dogwood is
planted with Russian stonecrop, Sedum kamtschaticum,
which is in flower now.
